history

Project history and usage

lazygit is a widely adopted terminal UI for Git, written in Go by Jesse Duffield. It became one of the defining examples of a modern developer TUI: a package-manager-friendly binary that wraps a complex command-line tool in a discoverable keyboard interface.

Project history

The public GitHub repository was created on May 19, 2018. Early release artifacts include v0.1.4 on August 7, 2018; the project later reached v0.20 in April 2020, v0.50.0 in January 2025, and v0.62.2 on June 4, 2026.

Adoption history

The README documents broad packaging coverage: Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop, Arch, Fedora/RHEL-derived distributions, Solus, Debian/Ubuntu, Gentoo, openSUSE, NixOS, FreeBSD, Termux, Conda, Go, Chocolatey, Winget, and manual binaries. GitHub repository metadata recorded 79,894 stars on July 1, 2026, and the README included a large sponsor list, download badges, and active contributor links.

How it is used

lazygit focuses on everyday Git actions that are powerful but awkward at the raw CLI: staging individual lines, interactive rebase, cherry-pick, bisect, worktrees, commit graph navigation, custom commands, undo and redo through reflog-backed operations, and repository-local configuration.

Why package nerds care

lazygit matters because it changed expectations for package-installed Git helpers. Instead of another alias collection or shell prompt plugin, it ships as a single binary that can be installed from nearly every package ecosystem and used immediately in any repository.

Related projects

Git is the underlying version-control system. lazydocker is Jesse Duffield's sibling TUI for Docker workflows, and both projects helped popularize the `lazy*` naming pattern for focused terminal interfaces.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.
